Today has been kind of an icky day...ya know? Everybody has one of them every once in a while. I am missing my family a lot, missing other people a lot, having a hard time being engaged in life....just feeling blah. Sometimes it is so easy to get down into a rut--so easy to just not be motivated to do anything. I realized today that strength is making, even forcing, yourself to do something when you very least want to do it. For me, it was getting out of bed today. It was practicing today. It was reminding myself that I am loved today. Once I did all of those things, my day turned around a little. Yes, it is still gray and sleeting outside (NEVER. MOVE. TO. LOGAN. ;) ), my day hasn't been perfect, my knees ache from the weather, and I am way over my head in things to do, but it's okay. It's okay because I chose to be happy, and I pushed my way through the things that I wanted to do the very least today. YOU can do it today, too. While you're at it...be happy tomorrow, and the next day, and the next one after that. Smiling is good for you, laughing keeps you healthy, and being happy keeps you glowing. :)
